The World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child (WCPRC) is based on the UN Child Convention. The WCPRC strengthens the voices of children and young people, promotes their ‘humanitarian growth’ into global citizens, and helps them to demand respect for the rights of the child.
Students from all over the world work with the WCPRC, which is the world’s largest annual education and empowerment process for the rights of the child, democracy, the environment and global friendship. As part of this process, the children award the world’s most-respected prizes for the rights of the child. The prize sum is used to give a better life to some of the world’s most disadvantaged children.
Young people work with the WCPRC with the help of The Globe magazine and childrensworld.org. There they meet the prize candidates, the jury children and global friends. The Globe is published in nine languages and the website is published in 10 languages.
